The latest offering from Solent Ribs.

A fine looking and great handling boat from reports I've heard.

Sorry all. Just got back from a week in S Devon.
After dropping Max at Hill Head we got mixed up in the Mumm 30 fleet. Nick used to sail with one of the skippers and me against him. By the time we had cast our professional eye over some dreadfull sail and boat handling we were running a bit late.
We then chased the wrong group of RIBs into Cowes! There were a few around. Tried to call you all on the VHF - Nothing heard - I eventually noticed the PTT was sticking OFF for a change so I was talking to myself
Hope you all had a good weekend.
Have a photo.

I noticed that as well during our trip to Pompey on Saturday morning - and those people think they are "professional" racing sailors

Friend of mine was driving a charter rib with the wives of one of the boat's crews on board and he was appalled by the sailing cock-ups being made. Let's hope they improve before Cowes Week.
